Toyota updates Aurion

Toyota has added extra standard features to its entry- and mid-level Aurion models, increasing the value of the struggling large sedan on the run into the end-of-financial-year sales.

The current generation V6-powered Aurion will be the last built in Australia ahead of the Japanese brand's exit from local manufacturing in 2017.

The entry-level Aurion AT-X variant now rides on 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels, a premium four-spoke steering wheel and gear shift lever and all Aurion models are now fitted with rear ISOFIX points. The AT-X's price remains at $36,490 plus on road costs.

Stepping up to the mid-range Sportivo model gets you satellite navigation, 10 speaker JBL sound system, digital radio, seven-inch touchscreen and rear-window power sunshade. These features are optional on the base AT-X model, and cost $1750 extra.
